No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Klin escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
